Prophetic Word from May 11, 2014

Now I am the God who reorders and rearranges. For I say unto thee saith the Lord, that there is a reordering and a rearranging of plans, purposes, seasons, and events, even in this house saith the Lord and in this ministry, and in this region, and even in this nation saith the Lord. For I am the God who sets the plumb line from before the foundation of the world, even as I declared that My Son Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world. I’ve even set a plumb line for this nation. And I say unto thee saith God because the nation has not lined up to the plumb line, I am resetting the course. I am reordering the events.

I am repositioning even the foundations of even that which this country was set.

I am bringing them to full circle and full measure saith the Lord. I am realigning, I am rearranging, I am reordering, for this is the time of Divine visitation. This is the time of surely a Great Awakening from My Hands saith the Lord.

Shall you not see it? Shall you not behold it? Shall you not walk in it? Shall you not soak in it saith The Lord of Host?

Many have seen the vision and they said is this the way it’s going to be, is this all we can look forward to? And the Lord says, no. For behold I am a God who is gathering, bringing together My people from all places of worship and of fellowship and of endeavors and I shall by My Spirit bring them together to be an army, though they may never see one another, they shall be by the Spirit together. And they shall be marching forward and marching onward. And they shall see the victory, and the glory of the Lord and the gates of hell shall not be able to resist them. For there shall be a plundering by My people into the Kingdom of darkness. And I shall see many come forth as I call them by name and give them a new name saith the Lord. And behold you, each and every one of you in your various places of endeavors and experiences and labors shall see that come to pass right before you. And you shall know it’s of My hand and My work and My Spirit, but yet I will use you, for you are My army. You are My people. You’ve been called by name, and the mark is on you of God, not of this world, saith the Lord.

For I say unto thee saith the Lord, that I am about to visit this nation, and I say unto thee, where the blood has been ignored, and where sin has been spoken of as a very light thing I am about to cause a mighty emphasis on My precious blood. And as the emphasis increases on My blood, there shall be an increase of the emphasis of My power and My glory and My anointing. For I say unto thee saith the Lord that I desire to reveal to the United States of America Who I am, to reveal to this nation the God of the bible. For I say unto thee saith God, there shall even be a return. There are those who have even ignored, that knew better, the things of the Spirit.

For I shall cause a great repentance saith God. There will even be those even in front of the congregations that shall openly repent and say I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I repent. Lord, Lord, let us return unto you, let us return unto you, let us return unto you. And I say unto you saith the Lord, there will also be an opposition, and the opposition shall arise, but I will cause a dividing line of My Spirit, and it shall be known of this group as it was in the book of Acts, that great grace was upon that church, even as I spoke great grace, even a few verses later there was also divine judgment.  

For I say unto thee, with the move of God there shall also be a judging and a judgment of those that would seek to oppose what I will do.

For I say unto you saith God, that My true bride shall arise, and there shall be great harvest, for My heart is the souls of this country. My heart is the souls that are being swept into hell by the millions.

I say unto thee saith the Lord, surely I shall have a harvest. Surely I shall have a harvest. Surely I shall have a harvest saith the Lord.

For there shall be a shaking in Washington. For I say unto thee saith the Lord, I shall even cause some things to be exposed that have been well hidden. But it will be by My Spirit saith God, and through it My Blood shall sweep that Washington D.C. area. Even from the White House, even from the Congress, in the judicial system of the Supreme Court, and even the Pentagon saith God.

For there shall be a sweeping across this nation. You will see the wind blowing. You will see it blow by My Spirit saith God, and you will see the manifestation of it, says the Lord.

Even main line denominations that are going through the motions that have no clue who I am saith God; this shall be a clean sweep. It shall be on all flesh. It shall be on all ethnic groups. It shall be on all social statuses saith the Lord.

There shall not be one spectrum that shall be ignored. For when I said that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, I shall surely pour out My Spirit on all flesh saith the Lord.

Even the public schools, I have a strategy. I have a strategy saith the Lord, and I‘ve hidden it, but it’s about to be revealed saith God whereby there shall be outbreaks of My Sprit and My fire. And it shall not be able to be controlled by man’s regulations.

I have a greater plan saith God and a greater strategy, and there’s been much intercession. I’ve had intercessors praying in the wee hours of the morning, and I am calling other intercessors, and there are more that are joining the forces saith God. And it is the intercession that is turning the tide. It is the cry of the hearts of My people that has got My attention saith God, and surely the move is at hand.

I will cause events to take place. I will cause events to take place in the streets whereby the major news networks will not be able to ignore it. They will have to cover it. It will be such a large magnitude of the manifestations saith God. And actually, there will be so many that they will not be able to keep up.

For this land shall know that I am real. This land shall know that I am God. This land shall know that I Am the Lord God of Israel.

For I say unto thee saith the Lord, even concerning the parallel. Consider the parallel in the scripture whereby I declared that if the princes of this world would have known, they would have never crucified the Lord of glory. For I say unto thee, if they would have known, what is fixing to happen they would have never tried to repress the move of My Sprit in this land.

Ohhh, but it’s about to come, it’s about to come, It’s about to come saith the Lord. And My hand has been moved, and it shall surely move on this land, saith the Lord.

National Day of Repentance: Portugal

BRAGA SOLEMN ASSEMBLY (BSA). JOEL 2:15.-17; 2 Chro 7:14.

WE DESPERATELY NEED YOUR PRAYERS!

On April 15, a group of pastors and missionaries in Braga who have been meeting weekly for some time agreed to hold the Braga Solemn Assembly, BSA as follows:

Date June 14;  Time: 9am-4pm;  Venue: Igreja Missionária, Braga

The BSA is a time that interested churches and ministries in Braga city, (and environs), will gather to cry out to God, seeking Him in repentance according to JOEL 2:15.-17; 2 Chro 7:14. It is a time to cry for an outpouring of the Spirit upon Braga, Northern Portugal and indeed the whole of Portugal. It is a time of crying to God for revival in the lives of individuals and churches in Braga and Portugal.

In preparation, this group of leaders began meeting daily for prayers on May 25  and will continue till June 3. The participating churches will gather daily in their respective places of meeting for prayers as from June 4 till June 13. The leaders in Braga praying together are like a woman in laboring to give birth to her first baby.

Yet, much, so much more prayer is needed in order to realize God’s plan for Braga and to fulfill the reason for the BSA.

This is where you can be involved. We plead with you to KINDLY PRAY, AND PASS THIS TO YOUR AREA OF INFLUENCE, REQUESTING THEM TO PRAY CONSISTENTLY FOR THE CITY OF BRAGA, THE BSA AND PORTUGAL.  Here are some prayer points. 

Thanks giving and prayers

Thank God for:

1.     Setting up and sustaining this meeting of pastors and missionaries and enabling them to meet every Tuesday.  

2.     Uniting this group to hold the BSA.

Please pray that:

1.     Repentance-God will release the spirit of repentance upon believers in the city, enabling us to repent genuinely enough to release God’s forgiveness and blessing upon the land.

2.     Plead with God to grant believers broken and contrite hearts, the type that He will not despise.

3.     Spirit of prayer-God will pour upon Braga city a spirit of prayer causing the believers to pray in the power of the Spirit, releasing God’s move upon the city.

4.     Unity/Harmony-Pray that God will cause harmony/unity among the leaders of participating groups. Pray that God will cause the believers in the city to unite to such an extent to enable a release of the power of God through the church in the city.

5.     Humility-that God will enable the church in Braga to humble herself sufficiently to bring about the fulfillment of the Word in 2 Chro 7:14.

6.     Pray specifically for the daily meeting of these leaders that God will grant each one of these leaders repentant hearts, revive each one and harmonize them so that His blessings can come upon the city. See Psalm 133.

7.     Pray that these leaders will be supernaturally enabled to travail till the purposes of God are accomplished in Braga and even Portugal.

8.     Genuine personal heart preparations towards the Day-that God will create genuine and sustained hunger for Himself in the hearts of believers in Braga, causing us to seek Him with all our hearts.

9.     Program for the Day-God will give us His program for the Day. 

10.  Out pouring of the Spirit-God will fulfill upon this city, His promise, “I WILL POUR ..” Joel 2:28, 29.

11.  Revival-God will revive the church in Braga. That God will do whatever pleases Him in Braga.

12.  Judgment-God will judge the gods of Braga and of Portugal.

13.  Other cities-what God does in Braga will be replicated in other cities in Portugal resulting in a national revival. (Braga is called the city of archbishops, the Rome of Portugal-meaning that it is like the religious capital of the nation-what happens should flow to other cities.)

14.  United Prayer for Portugal (UPP)-that God will use BSA to kick start the UPP. The UPP is a vision to mobilize the entire church in Portugal to pray with fasting seeking the face of God for at least 3 years. Pray that God will raise people in Portugal that will give the UPP credibility and visibility.

15.  Pray for a shift in the heavens over Braga and over Portugal. Pray for open heavens over the city and the nation.

16.  AFTER THE SOLEMN ASSEMBLY, what next? Pray that the leaders will understand what God wants them to do AFTER the Day of prayer in order to maintain and grow the fire. Pray the leaders will follow God’s plan. Pray for a deep and lasting work of the Spirit in Braga and in Portugal.

17.  Pray for a mighty move of the Spirit in Braga that will result in thousands coming to the faith. Pray the same for Portugal that the Spirit of God will sweep of millions of Portuguese into the kingdom and maturing His church in the nation.

Please pray all manner of prayer as the Lord enables you, for Braga, Portugal and the Portuguese world.

Intercessory Prayer for D-Day: 70th Anniversary June 6th, 2014

PRAYER FOR THE 70^TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY JUNE 6, 2014

HEAVENLY FATHER, WE GATHER AT THIS CEREMONY TO HONOR THE BLOOD SPILLED BY ALLIED SOLDIERS WHO COURAGEOUSLY SCALED THE CLIFFS AT NORMANDY, FRANCE ON D-DAY, 70 YEARS AGO TO GIVE THEIR LIVES TO FREE US ALL FROM TYRANNY. ON THAT DAY, YOU ANSWERED PRAYERS. D-DAY WAS THE MOMENTOUS SHIFT IN WORLD WAR II THAT GAVE THE UNITED STATES AND THE ALLIED NATIONS VICTORY OVER EVIL. YOU GAVE US VICTORY OVER EVIL BECAUSE YOU LOVED US THEN. NOW, IN THE SAME WAY THAT 70 YEARS AGO THE ALLIED SOLDIERS PUT THEIR LIVES INTO YOUR HANDS, WE IN THE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST, IN THIS COUNTRY AND IN OTHER NATIONS, ARE PUTTING OUR LIVES IN YOUR HANDS, JOINING TO PRAY, FAST AND REPENT, AND TO FIGHT AGAINST THE TIDE OF EVIL THAT IS RISING UP AGAIN.

TODAY, LORD GOD, IN EVERY NATION WE FACE EVIL, OFTEN UNSEEN. THE THREAT IS REAL AND IT IS OBVIOUS. WE ARE IN A FIERCE SPIRITUAL BATTLE, AND ARE AT GRAVE RISK OF LOSING THE GODLY ROOTS THAT WERE PLANTED IN EVERY NATION THAT ONCE DEPENDED UPON YOU, AND FEARED YOU.

WE HAVE BEEN DISOBEDIENT. WE HAVE TAKEN YOU OUT OF OUR LIVES, OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS, OUT OF OUR WOMBS, OUT OF OUR PLACES OF GOVERNMENT, OUT OF OUR MARRIAGES. WE HAVE SERVED OTHER GODS. WE HAVE ALLOWED RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, THE FREEDOM TO WORSHIP YOU, TO ERODE. OUR SILENCE IS DEAFENING BECAUSE WE HAVE STRAYED FROM OUR FIRST LOVE AND BECOME LUKEWARM. WE HAVE PERVERTED YOUR LIBERTY INTO A LICENSE TO DO EVIL. WE HAVE LARGELY SQUANDERED YOUR VICTORY AT D-DAY. WE DESERVE AND SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED AT YOUR IMPENDING JUDGMENT. WE BREAK YOUR COMMANDS; AND YET, WE HUMBLY SEEK YOUR MERCY.

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE SCRIPTURES ENCOURAGE US TO BE ZEALOUS AND REPENT OF OUR OLD WAYS, CHANGE OUR MINDS, AND OVERCOME SIN. WE COVENANT WITH YOU ACCORDING TO NEHEMIAH 9 AND 10; WITH CONTRITE HEARTS AND SINCERITY, WE DECLARE THE BEGINNING OF A LIFELONG CAMPAIGN WITHIN THE BODY OF CHRIST TO OBEY YOU. WE WILL HONOR YOU AND FOLLOW YOUR WAYS, ONLY. WE COMMIT TO SERVE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES.

Lord God, again we praise You, for the victory that was wrought for freedom 70 years ago in the Normandy invasion and campaign, and we establish a covenant before You to serve as Your soldiers again against the tide of evil that would engulf us all. Grant us the grace, Lord, to confront and to destroy the lies of the enemy in all realms of influence in our nation: church, family, military, business, education, media and government. As we stand in repentance before Your Throne of Grace, we ask that You would visit our people yet one more time, that we might all come to know you, dear Lord, as our Savior and our God.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS WE PRAY, AMEN.

God is Not Dead

Dear Pastor Jeff,

A few weeks ago, our son Cory was texting Amanda; his dear friend.  Later in the day, he received a text from Amanda’s best friend.  It was the type of news that you never want to hear.  She was jogging and got hit by a car.  The text said she was in a medical induced coma.  Many broken ribs, broken wrist and badly bruised. 

The biggest concern was the swelling in her brain.  Because her head hit a tree. 

An impossible situation. Our son was shocked. Horrified.  He had just talked to her. He did not know what to do.  Except pray.  And we did too. We enlisted prayer warriors on her behalf.  And many people throughout Southern California mobilized. 

Amanda was in ICU and on life support.  She couldn’t MOVE or SPEAK. Cory was in constant contact via text with Amanda’s dad, who was right by her side.  He gave us updates on Amanda, so we knew exactly how to pray.  Several days into this, the doctors said it didn’t look good.  They said that Amanda would most likely have brain damage.  Then her blood pressure started to drop.  It soon became a life and death scenario. They had no choice but to take her out of the medically induced coma.  We cried out to God for a miracle that night.  When patients are taken out of a medically induced coma, they do not respond or react right away.  They especially do not talk.  At 2:00am, I received a text from Cory.  When the anesthesiologist removed her breathing tube; Amanda spoke.  Not only did she speak; she said, “God’s not dead!”  The anesthesiologist was floored; he had never seen anything like it.  Her parents had tears of joy running down their faces.  Several days later, Amanda was discharged!  She is WALKING and TALKING. Last week, she took her finals at Long Beach State.  She is graduating!
God is NOT dead.  He is very alive. He continues to do miracles.  Nothing is impossible for Him.

Forgive us God that We the Church sometimes behave like we are in a medical induced coma.  Incapable of MOVING in love to the lost, unable to SPEAK the whole gospel truth to them.

Forgive us God that We the Church have allowed our brains to become swollen with vast resources of knowledge of You, but we seldom want to apply it to our lives.

Forgive us God that We the Church are bombarded daily with horrific and shocking news that we don’t want to hear.  And we don’t know what to do.
So we don’t.

Maybe we forgot that even though our lives are broken and badly bruised, Your Holy Spirit gives the best Intensive Care. (2 Corin 1:3-5)

Maybe we forgot that You are our One and Only life support. Our every breath.

Our every heartbeat.  (Job 33:4)

Maybe we forgot that You are constantly by our side.  And we get to have constant contact with You via Prayer.  (Psalm 34:4)

Breathe into us, Almighty God.  Your breath of life, restoration and revival.
Infuse in us the truth that You are Not Dead.
Instill in us the truth that You still Do the Impossible.
So we can wake up, rise up and speak up.  So You can Do Miracles Thru US.
Discharge US!!!
So We can WALK with You and TALK about Jesus.
To the lost, hurting and broken.
And tears of joy will run down Your face.

PRAISE: This past month Craig and I have presented Election Forums to over 25 Churches and Organizations!  Go to electionforum.org to see how to vote your values and view our current schedule.
Last week we were in Diamond Bar, Lake Arrowhead, San Diego and Long Beach.
We have been blessed with attentive audiences and trust me; salvation, mobilization and empowerment of the Holy Spirit took place!!!

PRAISE:  I was able to witness a revival this past Friday night.  Right here in the South Bay.  The Women’s Retreat was not only well attended at Calvary Chapel South Bay, but the Holy Spirit moved in a powerful and demonstrated way.  Salvation, deliverance and healing took place in many lives! Please continue to pray for revival here in the South Bay.  Lord knows we need it!!!

PRAY: These last few weeks before the June 2 primary, we will be in Torrance multiple times, Temecula, La Habra, Big Bear and La Habra Heights.  Please pray for people to be inspired to attend and ready to learn how to vote their values.

PRAY: As we prepare for the General Election in November, most churches we have been to, are already booking us.  Pray for favor for more pastors and churches to open their doors to this critical and urgent teaching and mobilization.

PRAY: We may be given the opportunity to speak at churches in specific areas for the elections throughout the state, not just Southern California.  Pray God would open those doors.  Pray for provision for transportation and resources.

PRAY:  That God would remove the spirit of stupor that blankets a lot of His people.  (Romans 11:8) That this would be replaced with a spirit of urgency for the gospel.  We are in the last days and He is raising up a mighty army.  We need more laborers. There is a huge harvest out there.

True Repentance...Shiny Chrome or Valuable Silver?

Felt to send these few quick notes on repentance....

I was asking the Lord about repentance and He told me that most believers speak to Him/”pray” as if they’re doing a McDonalds drive-through.

“Lord, I want this, this and this. Fast.” 

And then they speed off in another direction, consumed with their own self-interest and pleasure-seeking.

The word ‘fast’ is interesting.  The world and our flesh demands that everything should be “fast”, especially that which gives us fleshly pleasure (eg ‘fast food’).

But this is not the kind of “fast” that God requires.   When we try to do our relationship with Yahveh “fast” (ie. in this demanding, ‘just make me feel good’ way) it is an insult and abomination to Him.

Even our confessed ‘repentance’ prayers are not worthy and pure if at the core our motivation is selfish (ie. about “saving our own skins” from pending judgment and doom). 

True heartfelt repentance is not about following Biblical formulae in order to ‘get’ God to hold back in His judgement so our lives here will stay comfortable and we can sleep easier. (Aren’t we already sleeping too much?!  Think of the sleeping virgins without oil.)

Repentance starts with personal conviction of sin. It is a shakeup, wakeup call!  Conviction of sin rouses us from our stupor and causes us to fall on our face before our Lord God Almighty.  It’s not a casual, speedy, ‘driveby’ process;  when we begin to see ourselves in the shadow of the Presence of Almighty God, we’re not rushing anywhere.  And certainly there is nothing casual about it.

Repentance is heart-transforming.  It changes us radically from the inside out.  We are made different from who we were before.  We are as new and real as a new baby.

Conviction of sin is like the whips that came against the back of our precious Lord; it is painful as it strips our flesh from our backs so we see the ‘bare bones’ of our sinful self exposed and naked.  We see ourselves as our Holy God sees us.  His plumb line is our new measure of worth, and we suddenly and fearfully glimpse just how far we fall short.  It is shocking and frightening.  This is the ‘reverential fear’ and awe of which God’s Word speaks.  It makes us lower our heads, our whole person, and tremble in humility before Elohim, our Living, All Powerful and Sovereign GOD.  His Holiness takes our breath away.  We can’t stand in His Presence, much less walk or ‘drive by’.  True conviction of sin causes tears to fall – streams in the desert.  It causes an agony of spirit to see our darkness in His Light.

My friend, repentance is not ‘light weight’.  It is as hard and heavy and splintered as the Cross our Lord carried on His back.  We are meant to tremble under the weight of it. Our knees should buckle.

As we lay down that load at the foot of the Cross and look up into the disfigured face and piercing eyes of He Who Is Holy and without sin, the veil of our heart should be torn in grief and our tongues automatically confess and worship Yeshua HaMashiach as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, without ceasing forevermore! 

Each and every time we journey to the Lord in prayer, we need to look up to Him on that Cross, behold the price He paid for our life and liberty, and remember who we are before Him – a hardened lump of dried out clay in desperate need of cleansing and reshaping by the One and Only Potter.

We are meant to bleed in our grief and remorse as Christ bled for us.  If we are not ‘bleeding’ inside and out, then our repentance is not real.  Nor is our relationship real with our Triune God.

And our ‘grocery list’ and ‘formulae’ prayers make a mockery of the suffering of our Lord.  They are nothing more than egocentric attempts to manipulate God Almighty for our own benefit, and the benefit of our nations.

Real repentance transforms our hearts of stone into hearts of flesh.  Read that again. 

Let’s begin to take that Truth seriously.  And let us look for the evidence of it within ourselves to know if our own repentance is real. 

The transforming Power of real repentance is like nothing else! It is PHENOMENAL! It is ASTRONOMICAL!  It is SUPERNATURAL! It is OF GOD! 

Only when we feel the pain of repentance deep in our heart....when we are shaken to the very core of our being like an earthquake......when the stoniness of our countenance is dislodged and our hearts and minds are wrecked by His Grace....only then are our eyes opened to Who Yeshua Is.

Only in that place does God allow us a tiny glimpse of His SOVEREIGN LORDSHIP.

Only there at His feet do we glimpse, in the dazzling radiance of His Light, the price He paid by living amongst us, surrendering on the Cross of Calvary and overcoming all powers of Hell so that we who are ensnared by sin in our fleshly state may receive His Breath of Life.  This, my friend, is what it means to repent.  This is the kind of humbling of self that the Lord requires.  We must hush ourselves and slow ourselves to enter into that sacred place of sincere, heartfelt, mind-blowing, life transforming, self-wrecking repentance.  This is the kind that involves us throwing ourselves on His Sword....not to avert further shame or disaster coming upon our persons as Saul did, but in awe-inspired reverence of His Worth and Holiness and Godship, and out of a new despising of all that is within our fleshly self that is not of Him....we must want to die to it, for love of our God and His sake!

For it is in dying to self that we become living stones, being continually transformed into the image of Christ Jesus, our Rock.  As Peter’s identity was changed from Simon, so we the betrothed Bride are reformed into living ‘petras’, being continually transformed into the image of ‘Petros’, our Redeemer.    

Love and blessings in Jesus/Yeshua, our Lord of Lords!
